The Future of Timrod Park

Preservation & Renovation

Placemakingis the creation of a distinctive, livable space through community engagement. Placemaking is a collaborative process because real places are best achieved in gradual steps, as a community voices its own needs. Originating from the ideas of Jane Jacobs and William H. (Holly) Whyte, it emphasizes that cities and towns should be designed for people, not just for vehicles or businesses. The placemaking process helps to create livable streets that have a sense of vitality.Click HERE to see how the future Timrod Park can become the City's best example of placemaking.

Sharrow or 'shared lane marking (SLM)' is a pavement marking installed on streets popular with bicyclists but too narrow for conventional bike lanes [1]. The sharrow is installed 11 feet from the curb, or approximately 4 feet from parked cars. It is intended to indicate where bicyclists should ride to avoid traveling within the door zone of parked cars. It also alerts motorists to share the road with bicyclists and conveys that the street is a preferred bike route. Click HERE to read more and fill out a surgery for Timrod Park.

WHAT IS CODE COMPLIANCE?This refers to how we enforce the City codes and ordinances affecting the quality of life in our neighborhoods. As a city, we want all of our citizens to be able to live happily in their homes, whether as a renter or an owner. Each one of these codes and ordinances have been established to assist in sustaining the high quality of life we appreciate in Florence. We strongly suggest you take time to read each one, understand the consequences, and know how to report a violation.

Why we like it

Exceptionally Valued Properties - The average home sale within the past 6 months has been $147,000. Prices range from $79,000 to $170,000.

Walkability - We are in walkable proximity to everyday destinations. There's truly not a need to use your car on the weekends. We are in walking distance to the grocery store, dry cleaner, churches, synagogue, park, restaurants, library, Florence Museum, Florence Little Theatre, FMU Performing Arts Center and Art Trail Gallery.

Diversity - We are a melting pot. Residents include professors, teachers, police officers, nurses, plumbers, doctors, dentists, artists, librarians, retirees and electricians just to name a few. African Americans, Caucasians, Asian Americans and Indian Americans all make this a culturally diverse neighborhood.

Keep Your Neighborhood Clean-

Littering and graffiti are signs of disrespect to you, your neighbors, and your community. Keep sidewalks, streets, alleyways, backyards and lots clean at all times. In addition to keeping the area around your home clean, here are four simple ways that you can help keep your neighborhood clean:

Keep the sidewalk and the street in front of your home or business free of litter — Don't sweep trash, leaves, or lawn clippings into the street. Instead, put litter and yard waste into a garbage bag for disposal or composting.

Set an example — When you go on a walk around your neighborhood, take a small trash bag along with you. If you see a piece of trash, pick it up. You'll set a great example for your neighbors, especially the children in your neighborhood.

Get to know the local sanitation crew or officials — Personal contact with sanitation staff may be a good way to get a problem solved. Let them know you care and write a letter of praise to their superiors when they do a good job.

Alert us of problem areas or when illegal dumping or graffiti occurs—If litter is repeatedly dumped in certain areas, notify the police and provide them with as much detail as possible about the problem and the problem area.
